Information You Need To Know All fabric requirements are based on 40˝/42˝-wide fabric. The yardage given includes an additional amount to account for fabric shrinkage and individual differences in cutting. A G˝ seam allowance is included on pattern pieces when required. All measurements for pieces, sashing, and borders include G˝ seam allowances. The finished quilt size is the size of the quilt before quilting. Because each quiltmaker usually has a personal preference for a particular type of batting, the type of batting to be used for each quilt will not be listed, unless it is necessary to obtain a specific look. Fabric listed for binding includes yardage for straight-grain binding. Due to variations in materials and equip-ment, McCall’s Quilting disclaims any liability of untoward results in doing the projects presented. Because McCall’s Quilting has no control over your choice of materials or procedures, neither McCall’s Quilting nor the various manufacturers assume any responsibility for the use of this data.

From the Editor

Beth Hayes, Editor-in-Chief

Whether it’s made as a gift or for use in your own home,

there’s nothing like a Christmas quilt to create a happy,

comfy holiday atmosphere. The 3 quilts patterned here are

lots of fun to make…you’ll catch the holiday spirit way

before you’ve finished your project!

Celebrate Santa’s annual gift-giving journey with Karen

Neary’s Santa’s Trip Around the World. Easy piecing and a

bit of fusible appliqué are the only steps needed for this

cheerful wall hanging. If piecing is your passion, you’ll love

Darlene Zimmerman’s quick red-and-white Churn Dash

design, Peppermint Dash. It’s a perfect cuddle quilt for cold

evenings, especially when made with flannel fabrics. And if

your decorating plan calls for a bit of winter blue and white,

try Kim Calhoun’s Mr. Snowman. This adorable “portrait”

can be displayed all through the winter, not just at

Christmastime.

No matter which project(s) you decide to make, the

McCall’s Quilting staff wishes you merry Christmas quilting,

any time of year!

Happy stitching,

Quick, Cute Christmas Quilts
